Draft Policy Direction 7 states that:
“The SWLP will take a sequential approach to allocating strategic areas of growth and new settlements. Further evidence will be gathered on the relative sustainability
of each of these areas. Some of this evidence will come from the Stage 2 Green Belt review, regarding the contribution an area makes to Green Belt purposes, and the impact on the wider Green Belt if an area was to be released. This additional evidence will enable a considered assessment of whether there are sufficient
sustainable non-Green Belt locations to accommodate South Warwickshire’s housing and employment land needs. If so, then there will be no requirement to release land from the Green Belt. However, if there are clear sustainability benefits to utilising one or more Green Belt locations, then this will form the basis of an argument that “exceptional circumstances” exist to justify releasing that land from the Green Belt.”
Catesby Estates supports this approach as it aligns with the requirements of the NPPF.
